Mojacar and boat

This tour combines two of Almeria's top attractions – the Cabo de Gata Nature Reserve and the historic hilltop village of Mojacar. You'll cruise off the coast of the nature reserve and then head by coach to Mojacar, one of the prettiest pueblos in eastern Andalusia.Sailing from the port of Carboneras, the boat trip offers great views of Cabo de Gata Nature Reserve – the largest protected coastal area in Spain. Pass hidden coves, imposing cliffs and pretty beaches. You'll also see the enticingly beautiful Playa de los Muertos – though it means ‘Beach of the Dead', it's more a case of a beach to die for.Then it's time for Mojacar itself. A guided tour will give you the lowdown on its long history – it's believed to have been settled some 4,000 years ago – as you wander through winding alleys of whitewashed homes. See the Moorish fountain, city gate, St Mary's church and more during a pleasant stroll through the village. And on the return journey, you'll pass through the impressive Tabernas desert.
